Question 4 is worth 35 points.) 1. Discuss the “nature” perspective on knowing and learning. Be sure to include at least 3 different elements of such a theory. In doing so, also be sure to provide several real-life examples of how a classroom that is based on such a perspective would look. The “nature” perspective on knowing and learning focuses on the genetics and innate intellectual ability of students. It is a contrast to the “nurture” perspective that puts emphasis on ability shaped by experiences
is one of the most important factors for learning a foreign/second language (L2). Ellis (1994) mentioned that motivation is the factor for what learners feel the need to learn language (p.715). Dörnyei and Ushioda (2011) mentioned that second language motivation is an important factor for learning any additional language. They also mentioned that in any field of knowledge, motivation is an important factor. They emphasized on practical aspects of learning language than the theories. During last two
to ensure the potential candidates fulfill the criteria of ‘Mindfulness’, Sherretz employ an “empirical check” by using Langer Mindfulness Scale to measure the ‘Mindful’ phenomena present in the potential participants. Based on the scores obtained, three elementary teachers from Eastside Intermediate School were identified as ‘Mindful’ and recruited as participants for her study. They have seven to sixteen years of teaching experience and suitable for informing research. She drew on inferences from
education- Challenges and opportunities Background Historical perspective In the last three decades, increased students mobility and collaborative research have occurred as part of an emerging trend towards ‘Internationalization of higher education’ (Barnett, 2009). However, global sharing of information and knowledge dates back from medieval times in Asia and Europe, when international scholars got the opportunity for higher learning at the host institutes. The main difference between ancient way
role of ‘temporal organization’ from the works of William and Burden (1997) and Ushioda (1996). They asserted that a long time period may be needed for the execution of ‘sustained learning process’ to be successful in learning second/foreign language (Dornyei & Ushioda, 2011, p. 60). William and Burden (1997) presented a three-phased continuum for the analysis of L2 motivational process, keeping in focus the temporal aspects of
Active learning in the classroom is a way for teachers to encourage higher order thinking from students, connect to the world outside of the classroom, and give students an opportunity to develop deep knowledge of subject matter. As part of active learning, teachers create engaging activities that require problem solving, cooperative work, and the use of simulations. These activities involve various subjects and promote active learning. In chapter three of McGuire and Cole’s Making a Difference-

Introduction Inclusive education has been widely interpreted and defined. It is applicable to all pupils with the aim of removing barriers to learning and engagement for all pupils (Pijl et al., 2008).

Singapore has also witnessed a
Multimedia is learning where students can learn through using different graphics in which photos, graphs, animations, maps and videos included printed or spoken text. It is not efficient method to add simply words and images for achieve multimedia learning. The major reason is to use instructional media is to transfer the knowledge in the light of how human mind workings.

They claim that the fact that kids exhibit gender appropriate behaviour, from the age of two or three, even before developing gender constancy, questions his theory. (Martin & Ruble, 2004) They also talk about how Kohlberg’s theory has not taken into account the reason for children to use gender as a construct, to sort out their view of the world.
